In fact I'd say it's probably the opposite. Even though, I agree, psychologically the fact the system is ending is making me just shop to get rid of APGs at A's prices, without any comparison being done, rather than doing APG shops for another APG. This is even though I'd still have time between now and 3rd October to check the receipts and use another voucher by its expiry:huh:. If anything we should perhaps be using the APG even more during the time left. We should now be going to A more often, to try to get far more wombles (hoping that the percentage that offer vouchers remains around normal and that getting more receipts gives more vouchers) - then allowing us to claim and have more vouchers by 3rd October that we can then have available to use during the rest of the month. As we can't claim for new receipts on 16th October (or whenever) to get vouchers to spend around that time and to the end of the month, we need more receipts by 3rd October, to claim them early and then be able to use them during the same period.

In fact, it seems the APG site has been down/has been slow/difficult at times to log into and it has made me wonder whether more people are starting to use the APG. For the first time in many months, we have had promotion of the APG through the past week. I suspect most customers, if a few weeks ago, had been asked about the APG, they would have been likely to have replied "Is that still going?" Because of the lack of advertising and promotion of it, as A 'paused' doing so several months ago, I think it would not be regularly in the mind of people generally. They weren't being reminded of it by advertising. It's likely that, while the scheme continued and was never dropped, people generally forgot it exists. Now, however, this has been massive promotion of the APG, and advertising of it in places where money cannot buy, due to all the internet media coverage of A stopping the scheme. (For example, the APG site has now been linked to from the BBC's UK site, that doesn't carry advertising. And if more people than would have been the case before are now landing on the APG site due to clicking on the link and being referred from the BBC, maybe that is part of why the site is seemingly a bit more slow at times?) You cannot fail to draw attention to something by mentioning it. The stopping of the scheme has created promotion of the scheme, and I wonder now whether we might see slightly more people claiming on the APG, now that they are aware of it once more, and trying to do so before the scheme ends (assuming A doesn't have a change of mind if it sees a last minute spike in people using it, due to the media coverage of the scheme being dropped itself giving coverage of the current existence of it).

For me, too, sometimes the lack of mention of something mentions it - and often does so even more than actively mentioning it (by drawing more attention to it than if it was simply mentioned). It is not what is said, but what is not said that says things. Silence speaks louder than words. It speaks volumes what is not included in some statements sometimes.

I will post any good comparisons I find savvy:) I just wasn't sure how long the APG system would remain trouble free.

Unsure I would like to wait until the turn of the month though ie 1st/2nd October to print out. The system could be really slow/over subscribed leaving us high and dry:o

Any high value ones I will print out this month and leave the rest " in the hope" we will be able to print next month

Anon, in the Stafford store earlier they had the same. They were at the end of the Christmas aisle! They also had tomato food, Miracle Grow for £2, and some other things.
